The Pearce Family:
A Model 170 Coal Fired Boiler
Application:
The property this furnace is providing heat for is a single family
residence. The boiler is also providing
domestic hot water for the property. This property required a
little over 3,000 gallons of heating oil per year, prior to conversion
to coal.
History:
This Model 170 was purchased in the fall of 2006, and transported to
Alaska in the back of a Dodge pickup. The preliminary work on the
gravel pad for the furnace room was done in
the late summer. Over the rest of the fall and early winter,
whenever time and the weather
permitted, work proceeded on the furnace room. Although the room
entirely wasn't done, by early January 2007 the boiler was running.
